• Tre Mason is still the MVP of the whole game, without his two TDs Auburn would have lost.

• First game, as usual there were mistakes.

• Grant was definitely a nice surprise after hearing about Mason and Artis-Payne for most of preseason. Monty Adams is already our best defensive tackle, one game into his career. Craig Sanders, however, also had a very good game. On defense, one can definitely see that we have improved. The tackling was good, and I loved our ball-hawking skills throughout the air attack. However, our lack of SEC-level linebackers was again painfully obvious.

• We still can't seem to put much pressure on the QB, but we did do a little better at that than last year. The linebackers have to get better. Nick Marshall needs to keep working with his receivers to get the timing down.

• The performance did not surprise me. They will improve w/time.

• Quarterback and receivers need the largest amount of work. Defense improved but needs more work. Special teams still solid.

• Failed to consistantly complete drives on offense. Defensive linemen need to put more pressure on opposing QB's, linebacker play was less than average, and db's playing too far off of recievers, gave up too many yards and too many points.

• Disappointed overall. We're lucky to have won this game and have a long way to go. I was very impressed with Adams. Did Casanova even play? I was hoping Holland would finally be a factor but he is still arm tackling and a weak middle linebacker, unfortunately.
